If you are just linking videos that have been placed by users on YouTube and are not copyrighted there should be no problem.

Chris if they upload the video and it is not embedded then one would assume that it has a copyright but if it has the embedding code then one would say that it has no copyright.

If they do not wish other sites to display their video's all they have to do is protect it by making sure that it does not have the embedding code, which is an option on Youtube.

Another option is that we will be asking people / members to email or post their video's to us with a consent allowing us to use it on the site.

We will then be putting it into a video format (which we can do now as we have bought the software), which we will be hosted on this forum. It will say that we have the rights / permission to play along with a thank you to the member / person that has supplied it.

Let me know what you think of this suggestion. cheers2
